> "Output directory already exists" error is seen in gridmix when gridmix.output.directory is not defined. When gridmix.output.directory is not defined, then gridmix uses inputDir/gridmix/ as output path for gridmix run. Because gridmix is creating outputPath(in this case, inputDir/gridmix/) at the begining, the output path to generate-data-mapreduce-job(i.e. inputDir) already exists and becomes error from mapreduce.
> There is need for creation of this outputPath in any case(whether user specifies the path using gridmix.output.directory OR gridmix itself considering inputDir/gridmix/ ) even though the paths are automatically created for output paths of mapreduce jobs(like mkdir -p), because gridmix needs to set 777 permissions for this outputPath sothat different users can create different output directories of different mapreduce jobs within this gridmix run.
> The other case in which this problem is seen is when gridmix.output.directory is defined as a relative path. This is because in this case also, gridmix tries to create relative path under ioPath/ and thus the same issue.
